SecretStash vs. Doppler
Doppler is a broad secrets-ops platform with per-seat pricing. SecretStash is a flat-rate, CLI-first tool built for small dev teams.
| Feature | SecretStash | Doppler |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat rate per organization tier | Per-seat, billed per user/month |
| Free tier | Personal plan (solo, limited) | Developer plan, free for first 3 users |
| CLI workflow | CLI-first pull/push | CLI available alongside dashboard-first workflow |
| Client-side encryption | Zero-knowledge, encrypted before upload | Server-side encryption at rest |
| SSO / SAML | Coming soon (Enterprise tier, via WorkOS) | Included on Team tier and above |
| Automatic secret rotation | Not available | Included on Team tier and above |
| Activity logs | Coming soon | Included, retention varies by tier |
Doppler's Developer plan is free for the first 3 users, then $8/user/month; the Team plan is $21/user/month; Enterprise is custom. SecretStash's Team plan is a flat $10/month (or $100/year) for up to 5 users — no per-seat math required.
Choose SecretStash if…
You're a small Laravel or Node team that wants predictable, flat pricing regardless of headcount, and you're comfortable with a CLI-first workflow rather than a full secrets-ops platform.
Choose Doppler if…
You need SAML SSO today rather than on our roadmap, or you need automatic secret rotation or dynamic secrets — neither of which is planned for SecretStash — or your team is large enough that per-seat Doppler pricing beats a flat organization tier.
